Hi,
Thanks for the tip on the Total Energy app!!! I just took a peek at it,
Really cool!! I did ask them a question about the metronome section if it
had the ability to switch from clicking on all beats to just the 2 and the
4, which a drummer told me how he was able to learn how to play behind the
beat, which is a necessity to learn how to play blues properly.
